TRIP OF A LIFETIME, Part Two

2/2/2015

When I left Paris, I kissed my hubby good-by and watched him leave for home.  I was headed for London to meet up with my "other" blog partner, Kristine Hughes.  Before the tour group gathered, Kristine and I had a few days of free time in London and we packed the days with activity. On Sunday, the low tide tempted us to try a bit of mudlarking on the Thames bank.

It was amusing and we found lots of stuff, aka treasures.

Searching...
V's finds
 Later, as we trekked about, we found the Duke of Wellington EVERYWHERE! We visited the church of St. James's Piccadilly, and got a good look at the Grinling  Gibbons carvings.
